AP Studio Art

The AP® Studio Art Portfolio course is designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical

experience of art and wish to develop mastery in the concept, composition, and execution of their ideas.

The AP 2D Art and Design Portfolio requires students to address the following learning outcomes:

1. conduct a sustained investigation through practice, experimentation, and revision, guided by questions;
2. skillfully synthesize materials, processes, and ideas;
3. articulate, in writing, information about one’s work;
4. produce a minimum of 15 works of art that reflect issues related to 2-D design, which is submitted for evaluation at the end of the school year.

Portfolios that receive a grade of 3, 4 or 5 by the AP testing board may earn the student college credit,

depending on the institute to which they may apply. In building the portfolio, students experience a variety

of concepts, techniques, and approaches designed to help them demonstrate their abilities as well as their

versatility with techniques, conceptualization and problem-solving. This course fulfills the ‘f’ requirement for

UC schools.
